My career as an artist and writer spans more than 35 years. After completing a post graduate degree in Archaeology and Anthropology, I moved to New York City where I worked in galleries and began to create my own art. My earliest pieces were painted constructions exploring ideas of perception; I soon moved on to painting and multimedia installation. In the mid 1980s I created a series of installations on the theme of the Great War, which were exhibited in New York and Europe.

In 1988, I left New York and moved to a small seaside town in Massachusetts where I wrote for a variety of publications and became involved with computer graphics. In the early 1990s I began working with technologists from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (Cambridge, MA), and in 1995 we created Diamond Park, a groundbreaking social virtual reality project.

As one of the inventors of a fundamental 3D graphics patent, I was invited to become a co-founder of Mitsubishi's Multimedia Research Lab in Silicon Valley. I moved to Northern California where I spent several years working in the high tech industry, initially on the creative and then on the business side.

In 2000 I moved to the UK, where I have lived and worked ever since. As a artist, I have always been keen to explore new media and techniques and over the past 15+ years my work has ranged from photography to hand-printed textiles. I have also ventured into other creative fields: in 2004 I received a Diploma With Distinction in Garden Design and in 2010 I wrote a cookery book.
